All in all, Microsoft Plus! for Windows XP is an interesting add-on for
Microsoft’s flagship operating system despite the lack of themes, visual
styles and some limited features for the digital media applications. All the
enhancements brought by Plus! for Windows XP are clearly designed for home
users and are, overall, pretty cool especially the games. With an affordable
price, this Plus! pack is a must have for geeks and users that want to add
something to Windows XP, but it could have been clearly better.
